This poem is a dialogue between the mountain and the squirrel . The mountain is proud of its towering bigness and looks upon the squirrel.The squirrel justifies its existence.It says that God created this universe in a very orderly way after a good deal of thinking. All big or small , rich or poor have a distinct quality and a definite place. None is superior or inferior. None should be considered as weak or useless .
The mountain and the squirrel Had a quarrel,And the former called the latter"Little prig"Bun replied, You are doubtless very big; But all sorts of things and weather Must be taken in together To make up a yearAnd a sphere,And I think it no disgrace To occupy my placeIf I'm not so large as you, You are not small as I, And not half so spry; I'll not deny you make A very pretty squirrel track. Talents differ; all is well and wisely put;'If I cannot carry forests on my back,Neither can you crack a nut.' Ralph Waldow Emerson

Every individual has individual abilities, and everybody has its motivation in this world, none more prominent or exact. One day, the mountain and the squirrel had a fight.
The gigantic mountain considers the minor squirrel a "little snob". The squirrel, named Bun, answers that while it isn't as large as the mountain, the mountain isn't even half as vigorous as the squirrel.
To make up a year and a circle, a wide range of things and climate must be thought about. The talent of both the mountain and the squirrel contrast greatly.If the squirrel can't carry the forest on its back, even the mountain can't crack open a small nut.
